| + | We have fully migrated to the new OWASP Website! |
| − | '''WebGoat''' is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application maintained by [[OWASP]] designed to teach web application security lessons. In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat application. For example, in one of the lessons the user must use [[SQL injection]] to steal fake credit card numbers. The application is a realistic teaching environment, providing users with hints and code to further explain the lesson.

| − | Why the name "WebGoat"? Developers should not feel bad about not knowing security. Even the best programmers make security errors. What they need is a scapegoat, right? ''Just blame it on the 'Goat''!

| − | ==Goals==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Web application security is difficult to learn and practice. Not many people have full blown web applications like online book stores or online banks that can be used to scan for vulnerabilities. In addition, security professionals frequently need to test tools against a platform known to be vulnerable to ensure that they perform as advertised. All of this needs to happen in a safe and legal environment. Even if your intentions are good, we believe you should never attempt to find vulnerabilities without permission.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The primary goal of the WebGoat project is simple: ''create a de-facto interactive teaching environment for web application security''. In the future, the project team hopes to extend WebGoat into becoming a security benchmarking platform and a Java-based Web site Honeypot.

| − | ==Download==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can download WebGoat from the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64424&package_id=61824 OWASP Source Code Center at Sourceforge]. There are versions with and without Java, and installation only requires unzipping the download and running a start script. For convenience, a ready-to-deploy WAR file is also made available to drop right into your J2EE application server.

| − | | |
| − | * [[Cross Site Scripting]]
| |
| − | * [[Access Control]]
| |
| − | * [[Race condition within a thread|Thread Safety]]
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | The WebGoat project was conceived by Jeff Williams, who developed the initial version. Bruce Mayhew now leads the project. WebGoat is currently maintained on [[http://www.sourceforge.net SourceForge]]. The WebGoat framework makes it extremely easy to add additional lessons. We are actively seeking developers to add new lessons as new web technologies emerge. If you are interested in volunteering for the project, or have a comment, question, or suggestion, please join the WebGoat [[http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owasp-webgoat mailing list]].
